The Loadstar Podcast | DP World: Why one-size-fits-all supply chains are failing
In a world where global trade is still growing but disruption is constant, traditional supply ...
The lesson of this Easter episode is: ‘do not put all your freight eggs in one basket’.
Supply chain disruptions covered include the implications of more Covid lockdowns in China, port congestion and what war in Europe is doing to air charter markets.
We have the latest air and ocean freight rates, and we hear how SME forwarders are struggling to buy space from carriers. And, will Gefco be the next acquisition by a European container line, following MSC’s deal to take over Bolloré Africa Logistics?
Guests
Glenn Hogben, CEO of the Air Charter Association
Peter Sand, chief analyst, Xeneta
Chris Higgins, commercial director at forwarder AFS Global
Mike Wackett, The Loadstar‘s sea freight correspondent
